Betty Pedram tea-cup-yorkies.com I'm wondering if there's anyone that has dealt with this woman? I think she seems nice and I don't want to say bad things about her. I was just wanting to know if she's a scammer. She's in Calgary. |
I have never heard of her, but I looked at the website. The pictures are photoshopped to make the dogs' and puppies' eyes look really big. That is a huge red flag. Secondly, words like teacup are marketing buzzwords. There is no such thing as a teacup Yorkie. One pup is listed as 9 ounces at 5 months old. That would be one of the world's smallest dogs. I believe trying to obtain a pup through this website will only lead to a loss of money or heartbreak. Where is the health guarantee she mentions on the first page? The only thing under the "guarantee" section in the menu is that she doesn't cover hypoglycemia. |
Want to add . . . don't be fooled by how nice a breeder comes across. Also, please do not ship a small dog. If you buy a puppy from out of state, insist on a human transporter who will take the puppy in the airline cabin and watch over him/her closely during the entire trip. |
Sorry, one more post . . . Sites like this one say "puppy broker" to me. I doubt she is breeding these dogs in her home. The pictures look a lot like the ones on a Florida broker site. Wish I could remember the name. |
Thank you! She said she'd be sending the puppy by courier, and admits to being a broker. She says she sells for a Korean Yorkie breeder, and explained that most breeders induce their dogs before they're due to get the micros. But says that the Korean Yorkies aren't bred that way. They're all tiny. She's giving me some references tomorrow. I've given my deposit, but want to make sure I do everything possible to make sure I'll be receiving my dog before paying for it. I;m just suspicious. Any recommendations on other things I might do? websites for bad breeders? I've seen bad reviews on the Florida breeder, and her facebook page show her map of where she's been, and its Florida. |

If you are lucky enough to receive a pup and it is the one in the picture you chose, my next concern would be health. I would be very nervous not knowing the breeding practices of the actual breeder (i.e genetic testing), not knowing anything about the pup's parents. Personally, there are so many red flags, I would ask for the deposit to be returned and I would look for a good breeder. Good luck in whatever you decide. |
I agree with Maximo, get your deposit back. I would look for an actual breeder and do some research before putting a deposit. Keep us posted. |
Thank you so much! Ive had a feeling all day about this. I knew in my heart that I need to get out. I'm just glad I didnt go through with it. Thanks for the support! |

BTW, FYI, Korea has a HUGE puppy mill business, it's horrifying & there's a few here in California. |

I just went to my paypal account to delete all of my credit card 3's just for safety, and I noticed the name on the bill is different than the website. She is A.K.A. Joanne Pauze. |
Betty Pedram is her facebook name. |
